Launch 6i Form from 11i?

Hi all, I'm having a lot of trouble finding info on how to launch/run a 6i form from Oracle Apps 11i. The form would be launched when a button is pressed.
Thanks.

Hi,
is 11i built with Forms 6i? If yes then open_form, new_form or call_form is used. If 11i uses Forms 9i then you use web.show_document("URL of Forms 6i on the web','_blank');

Launching position form from PERWSHRG

I want to launch the position form from the person assignment combined form as follows:
From the person form click assignment button, then click other button and select position from the list.
By adding the POSITION_DT node to the taskflow, I am able to get an entry in the list when clicking OTHER from the assignment screen. However when I select the entry the position form opens up blank. I want it to automatically query the position that was displayed in the assignment screen.
Can anyone help me with this?

Well none of that worked. After examining the code for the position form (HRWSPSF), it was learned that by setting the GLOBALS.G_POSITION_ID, the form would launch to that position. We first tried this by hardcoding a value just to test the theory out and it worked.
In order to have the position form bring up the current assignment in the assignment form we:
Added the POSITION_DT node to the US SHRMS PERSON TASKFLOW - This makes position available under OTHERS on the assignment form.
Next, we navigated to the position form through the assignment form by clicking others and did the following personalization:
CONDITION: WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE with blank condition
ACTIONS:
TYPE: Property, Object Type: Global variable, Target Object: G_POSITION_ID, Property Name: Value,
Value:
= Select TO_CHAR(POSITION_ID) from hr.per_all_assignments_f papf where papf.assignment_id= :GLOBAL.G_ASSIGNMENT_ID
and trunc(sysdate) between trunc(papf.effective_start_date) and trunc(papf.effective_end_date)

Is it possible to launch a form from an OAF page using OAF Personalization

In R11, the Customer Standard form ARXCUDCI was customized to call a custom block from the Address screen. In R12 the customer standard form has become an OAF page. We have decided to create a custom form for the custom block using Oracle Developer. However we need a mechanism to call this custom form from the Customer Standard OAF page.
My query is if it is possible to call a custom form from an OAF page using OAF personalization only (i.e. without directly customizing the code of the OAF page)
Thanks
Sanjay

Dear Apurba,
I have made some progress.
I have open the Customers OAF Page, queried a customer, selected a site and opened it.
Then chose Personalize "Account Site Address"
There I added a Button on the Header Address level
ID=XXTVL_LASSY_BUTTON
Populated the Additional Text and Prompt properties.
Also set Destination URI=form:SYSADMIN:SYSTEM_ADMINISTRATOR:STANDARD:FND_FNDMNMNU.
The button is now showing in the address page, and when I click on it it opens the seeded Menu form.
I now have to create the custom form and set Destination URI to the Custom Form.
I am also aware how to add parameters to Destination URI.
But could you let me know how to read the value from a OAF page form field and reference it in Destination URI.
I need the value of PARTY_SITE_ID of the Address OAF page.
Alternatively, the Site Number is displayed on the OAF page. If I can read it that will also do. I can use the Site Number in the custom form rather than PARTY_SITE_ID
Thanks
Sanjay

MSS - PCR - launch JSP form from action box

We have a PCR (leaver request) which is workflowed to an administrator to carry out the HR action. One of the options in the Action Box is to view the form - we're using JSP forms for this (we're using NW04 SP11). I've configured the ISR according to the SAP notes to be able to launch the JSP form for the administrator to view the form.
When we click the Display Form option the portal is launched as expected, the user logs on, but then a blank screen is displayed - ie not the form...
The URL that is generated is http://<portalserver>:<port>/irj/portal/<portalcomponent>?SCENARIO=ZCLR&REQUEST_NO=000500000165&MODE=DISPLAY&IFV=P
Has anyone set this up successfully and can offer any advice?
Regards
Ross

Hi Suresh,
Thanks for your suggestion, but it still isn't working - the portal is launched with this url but just stops at the user's start page in the portal. We're on 46C. Any other suggestions? Does the portal user (for the administrator) need anything to be able to view the jsp form?

Is it possible to launch Oracle Forms from Oracle Discoverer?

If so, please provide documentation on how to do it.

It is not possible. The Forms runtime is a C Process; that runtime, that interprets FMX files, only exists in Oracle Application Server, so you need to have OAS or Weblogic to run Forms.

Upgrade from 11i to R12 - Custom Forms,Reports and Workflows

Dear Community Friends,
We are planning for upgrade from oracle apps 11.5.10.2 to R12.
We have custom Forms,Form Libraries,Reports and Workflows.
Kindly provide me for approach on how to migrate Custom form libraries,reports and Workflows.
I beleive, this thread will exists as one shot point for custom forms,reports,workflow upgradation from 11i to r12 with detailed steps.
I know that many links exists here in the forum for all the above objects mentioned,but still from all those i am able to get a clear picture for oracle forms but not for custom form libraries ,reports and workflows.
Also,this post will provide a low level,practical picture of the steps for those who are in line with this.
Links i have read for all these in our forum are:
For Custom Forms,
Re: Planning to upgrade from 11i to R12
Re: Custom forms: After upgrading 11i to R12
ofcourse,'n' number of links exists providing metalink notes also.
Hussain,Helios and some others also has given many updates regd this.
For custom workflow upgradation,
Upgrade Workflow 11i to R12
Workflow Upgrade
Workflow Upgrade
For reports,links mentioned the below metalink notes:
Do Not Compile EBS R12 Reports Using rwconverter.sh or Reports Builder from IDS 10gR2 [ID 786794.1]
Using the OracleAS 10.1.2 Forms and Reports Builders with Oracle Applications Release 12 [ID 444248.1]
Per my understanding, after searching in many threads,i am here by summarising the practical low level steps for custom forms migration
Please correct me,if i am wrong.
1) Download the Forms(.fmb's) and all PLL's(all the PLL from resource folder in AU_TOP) into a Local Machine Folder
2) Open the forms using Forms Developer 10G and connect to DB
3) Compile by clicking compilein Forms Developer and then save it.
4) Upload the Saved Forms(.fmb's) into the new R12 server(system) in the respective custom paths(paths similar to 11i Server)
5) Compile all the forms using the command like below(example command is shown below or f60 gen commands or frmcmp.sh utility) in the respective custom form paths,
this will generate the .fmx's.
frmcmp_batch module=FORMNAME.fmb userid=apps/apps output_file=FORMNAME.fmx compile_all=yes
Link for compiling forms: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/SearchDocDisplay.jspx?_afrLoop=359210362972527&type=DOCUMENT&id=1085928.1&displayIndex=3&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=c348xvwbg_98
6) Open the form and check in R12 instance
As per my understanding for custom form libraries,we can just copy paste the PLL's from 11i server to R12 server (Please correct me,if i am wrong)
Can anyone please help me out in custom reports and custom workflows.Sorry that,i could not get a practical and clear picture for reports and also for workflow even after referring many threads and metalink notes mentioned.
As for reports,some says that Developer Suite 10g can be used and .rdf can be used in R12.
Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
So,i am not clear on this.
Thanks,

Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
So,i am not clear on this.You can still use RDF files in R12, and just follow the approach you mentioned above, and you do not have to migrate them to XML publisher (though it is recommended, but this can be done after the upgrade as an enhancement task).
For custom workflow, you need also to do the same thing, open them using workflow builder and make sure they work in R12 (correct the code if required and save them again in R12 once they work properly).

Launch form from unix shell

I hope I'm not premature with this question--I have been doing searches and haven't found the answer yet. So if this is pretty basic stuff, I apologize.
I've been assigned to convert some rather old Informix applications to Oracle (10g2). The old informix forms where executed via bourne shell scripts and as you can imagine, were pure character based screens. Is there a way to launch the new Oracle forms from a bourne shell script? I'm afraid you're going to tell me that I have to convert completely over to a web based application...
Darren

Yep. Then you just access them via a URL. Your unix server would take on the role of application server ( & / DB Server).
Good luck! Hopefully they're not too complex and are documented....

Migrating from 11i to R12 - setup reports and diagnostics

Hi,
we are looking at migrating(not upgrading) from 11i to R12 and looking for setup scripts and diagnostics which can tell what org structure has been followed in 11i. Is anybody aware of such scripts and/or diagnostic programs provided by Oracle. We also want to find out the the volume of data etc in various primary tables. Do we have some kind of report for this too ? Any help would be highly appreciated.
